The Los Angeles Police Department reports a 500% increase in stolen Camaros, particularly in the Newton area near South LA.
Chevy Camaros appear to be an attractive target for car thieves in Los Angeles County and it's a trend law enforcement agencies in Orange County are now watching closely.
Miguel who chose not to share his last name, almost became a target after a group of men attempted to steal his Chevy Camaro, which he described as his dream car. According to LAPD, two Camaros were stolen in Newton in 2023. Year-to-date, there have been 10 Camaros stolen in the same area and at least 90 Camaros were stolen city-wide year-to-date.
While there is no clear explanation why Camaros are being targeted, car thefts have generally increased over the past decade. According to the LAPD, nearly 30,000 vehicles are stolen every year in Los Angeles.
